How can you create an emotional connection with your audience?
Even if you *think* you have a topic that doesn’t lend itself to creating an emotional connection, there are ways you can pull your audience in.
Creating an emotional connection:
- Engages the audience and keeps them interested
- Builds trust with you and with each other by being vulnerable and relatable
- Helps them to remember what you’re teaching
- Gives them a way to apply what you’re sharing to themselves
In this on-air coaching call, my guest Leanne Kabat and I brainstorm about how she can create an emotional connection with her audience.

About My Guest: Leanne Kabat is the CEO and Main Mama at MamaConnects and the award-winning conference for moms called MamaCon. Each year, MamaCon celebrates the journey of motherhood by offering community, inspiration and education at events around the Pacific Northwest. A strong community is a lifeline for women raising children and balancing the complexity of life, which Leanne knows too well as she faced a medical diagnosis that gave her five years to live in 2006. Through events and her podcast called MamaConnects, Leanne nurtures a strong and vibrant community of women who support each other as they stand strong, rise up and take on life’s challenges together. Leanne’s forthcoming book is called “The 5 Seasons of Connection for Parents.”
